Yes, I've been reading Pavane where the Spanish Armada triumphed against England and invaded. The story set in 1980s but the world was VERY different. No electricity, no internal combustion engines, no airplanes, no nuclear power, nothing. The world stuck in medieval era for 400 years.

Now, although I know how "baddies" the Spanish Inquisition was against new scientific theory (geocentrism for example), does a Spanishwank world really need to be a low-tech, forever medieval Earth?

Is there a chance that Spanish Empire (or maybe, United Catholic Empire after Spain unites other nations) sponsored a technological era a la Victorian British Empire, or maybe as the United States?

Nuclear power in Spanish Empire? Stealth aircraft? Moon landing? Will that be impossible?

Thanks in advance!:):D
